Wi-Fi Router Workout with Channel 4 Supershoppers

Is the internet speed you pay for the speed you actually get throughout your home? There are lots of reasons why that may not be the case, one of which is how well your broadband router performs.

The majority of us make do with the router provided by our internet service provider when we sign up. While that’s often the easiest way to get up and running, that bundled hardware may not always provide the best internet experience around the house.

So, we’re testing the kit shipped by the some of UK’s top internet service providers – as well as some after-market options – to see which router works the hardest to send Wi-Fi around your home.

In the show we test:

BT Smart Hub

Sky Q Hub

Virgin Media Hub 3.o

TP-Link TL-W940N

Linksys WRT1900ACS
